Having previously contributed to the Harry Potter films, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was a great chance for Cinesite to revisit the wizarding world of J.K. Rowling and bring the magic from script to screen.

Ciprian Selegean, a recent graduate of the University of Portsmouth, has brought history to the present day by creating a digital reconstruction of Corfe Castle.

By painstakingly recreating the original castle from historical records and references and then compositing the model into live footage, Ciprian has brought the castle back to life after it was destroyed 400 years ago.

Ciprian’s work on Corfe Castle was featured in many news publications, their own reports can be found here:
